THE FIRST STATE BANK
SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEXAS
From all indications the prospect for
a good crop is promising. We have
had a fair fall of rain and two snows;
tjtf*.wni mellow the soil and pat the
and in fine condition. The freezes
will likely pat the bags and insects
oat of commission to a large extent
and will certainly delay the budding
at}d blooming of the fruit. With oar
iiefent favorable assets for a fruitful
year we have reason to be thankful
and we doubt not our farming con-
tingent will take advantage of it to
the full limit. A bumper crop of fruit,
corn, potatoes and cotton in Hopkins
county this year, supplemented by
the truck industry, including the faith-
ul old hen and her progery will put
Hopkins strong on the map for plenty
anct prosperity. Then too, when the
dirt begins to fly on the Memphis,
: Paris and Gulf railway, a new impetus
will be given to the movement of real
estate and there’ll be something doing
all %long the line that'goes to build dp
the hope of the country.

For misapplying the -’fands of the
Chicago National Bank, John R.
Walsh began yesterday his five year
sentence in the Federal prison at
Leavenworth, Kansas.
Snlphor Springs keeps steadily up
on her resident and business buildings.
It is no boom bo^a steady, sure and
permanent growth. of one of the best
towns in Northeast Texas.
It will soon be time to look after the
garden proposition as another resur-
rection of the good things of the soil
will soon be with us—provided we
lend the proper aid in the ressurection.
Rains county is quite a small coun-
ty, yet it appears that the Assessor’s
office mast be very attractive as
eleven aspirants have announced their
willingness to see what the value of
little Rains is.
As an argument in favor of prohibi-
tion for every ten thousand popula-
tion in Boston, within one year there
were 420 arrests. In Portland, Maine,
there 'were 84. Boston is wet and
Portland is dry.
Fortunately for the farmers they
have sold the great balk of their cot-
toft when the price was goosj. The
recent slnmp of $5.90 per bale will not
affect them, Tlfe trouble now Is in
the camp of the ‘bolls and bears.’

Japan thongh a small oountry has a
population of nearly fifty million
The men who made the cotton and
got a good price may congratulate
themselves that the slamping process
didn’t commence while in thier pos-
session. At the rate it is now depre-
ciating by planting time perhaps the
termers will be a little shy of a big
acreage. ^
In the matter of adjusting your poll
tax—remember the law requires you
to pay it before the 1st day of Febru-
ary and that means that yon mast
pay before that day comes—to pay on
the first comes to late to entitle yoa
to vote. We have seen a few instances
of where men paid on the first and
they were ruled oat.
Goat milk is now attracting atten-
tion in Japan as a curative for tuber-
culosis.
Benton McMillan, former governor
of Tennessee predicts democratic vic-
tory in 1912. He attributes the dem-
ocratic landslide in 1912 to republican
misrnle, a two billion dollar Congress
and the worst of all tariffs.
Baron Emil Rare von Muller, the
prince of bigamists is accredited with
laving fifty Wives. His plan of pre-
ceedure is to marry a rich woman and
4ika few months he makes his get-
away with a good portion of the
boodle. The reprobate has at last
been captured in Los Angeles and
steps are being taken to have him de-
livered in the East, the seat of many
of his crimes against the parity of the
marriage altar.
The parisite of oncleanness is now
diverting attention from the Hook
worm. It is given on good authority
that unsanitary conditions in Southern
factories is produciDg more physical
decay and deaths than the Hook
worms.
The prize of $100 won by J. G. Hen
derson of Birthright in the Fai^m and
Ranch Contest for the best acre of
corn grown in 1909 should give an im-
petus and new life to growing the
great cereal in; Hopkins county. The
production of 130 bushels on an acre
in the face of an unprecedented drouth
shows what kind of soil we have and
what jt will do when the right kind of
a farmer gets after it.
The Post-Dispatch says: That Roy
Lamphere before he died the other
day in the Indiana penitentiary, con-
fessed that he aided Mrs. Belle Gnn-
nees in disposing of three bodies, and
believing he had not received suffici-
ent compensation for said service, he
returned to the Gonness home and
ch lor formed the woman and her three
children.
Not only is the NeW Year with ns,
but the candidates also—this means
great dinners, numerous picnics and
much speaking throughout the land.
It alpo forecasts a social and good feel-
ing time that comes bat once in two
years. If we were as considerate and
thoughtful of the interest and welfare
of others in the off years what a hap-
py country we would have.
r A chamber of Commerce has been
at Childress with Fred L.
George M. Jackson of Piggott, Ark-
ansas, appears among the list of bene-
factors to the unemployed. He an-
nounced last Monday that he would
give 4000 acres of rich bottom lands to
the unemployed of the United States.
His plan is to give 400 unemployed
men ten acres each. This is a bene-
flcient offer and doubtless will be
gratefnlly taken op at once.
Only taa more days f to pay your

Taft made when he
depoeed Mr. Pinchot, has stirred
op a mess that will be heard around
the world—apd the end is not yet.
The osadidsfre crop in old Hopkins
oranty is fairly pitched and promises
to ho a fallens, judging from express-
ions we hear of others yet to oonie.
Miss Mary Phillips has announced
for county clerk of Rannels county.
She holds that the oonrts have held
that a woman has a right to hold of-
fice in Texas. We see no impropriety
in a woman who is competent accept-
ing a position of public trust. Miss
Phillips has served for four years as
deputy clerk and we take it that she
is thoroughly eligible and while it is
ho fight of oars, we hope*she will win,
believing those faithful In minor af-
faire should be awarded greater
things.
The price of broom corn is still soar-
ing, it is now quoted as selling in Ok-
lahoma at $250 per ton, this unprece-
diated high price is attributed to. 4
light crop. This goes to prove thajb
the scarcity of a necessity always ad*
vances the price, and this doctrine
may be applied to ^cotton as wetf.
The astonishing feature of growing
broom1 corn Is that there is not more
of it planted, seeing that it is a world
wide necessity. Hettie Green says
“To be successful, one should deal in
a public necessity.” \
The meek and lowly peanut saved
many a fepd bill this past year, and
proved a good profit maker. It should
not be neglected in plans for the next
year’s planting. The peandt is com-
ing into its own in the Southwest. As
a crop it is a money-maker.—Farm
and RanOh.
The peanut will thrive on thin land
^nd is distinctively a drouth product,
like the cockle burr, it never fails to
make seed, is a great forage plant and
its oqltivation should be more exten-
sive pn every sandy land farm.
A new Richmond has now entei
red,
the race for governor, and his entry
seems timely and appropriate. The
person \who dares to break the coterie
now booked for governor is a traveling
man, F. M. Ounyus, of McKinney.
He is a business man, and if there is
anything that Texas needs most it is
a business man who will direct the
affairs of this great ' state to a pros
perons finish. The candidates in the
field have sung a low note on business,
it is prohibition or anti prohibition
Texas needs a governor just now who
will go after the business of the conn
try and thna develop the state as it
should be.
Our rural mail carriers v^ill be glad
to know that a movement is on foot
in Congress to inorease their present
pay from $75 to $90 per month for
standard routes of twenty-four miles,
and one dollar per mouth per mile
more if the route exceeds twenty-four
miles and one dollar less if the route is
under twenty-four miles. Sixteen Con-
gressman are interested in raising the
salaries of the faithful men who are
day In and day out regardless of the
weather and road conditions render-
ing a valuable though burdensome
service to the ^ public. Our Morris
Sheppard has been elected president
to lead in this advance and we know
what that means—Morris has always
made good on any proposition looking
to the interests of his people.
Charles W. Bryan, brother of Will-
iam Jennings Bryan and Richard L
Metoalfe associated editor of the Com
monor denounce the report that Mr,
Bryan will seek the presldental nom-
ination In 1912, and that he has no in-
tention of being a candidate. 1912 is
but two years away and whether Mr.
Bryan offers or not, will not lessen
the high esteem and universal love
the American people bear for the
great Oommonor, and though he may
never appear for the presidency, the
fact of his having gone down three
times in defeat will in no wise impair
his eligibility to direct the affairs of a
great people. There are many ye*i
flying their banners for a purer and
higher government in which the peo
pie role who believe his election wohld
be a fitting expression of recognition
of true and unfaltering loyalty, and
the crowning glory of the nation.
Among Onr Exchanges
♦ ♦ ♦
One of the many improvements
booked for Winnsboro in 1910 is a new
calaboose.—Winnsboro News.
A better improvement still would
he for Winnsboro to get rid of the
whiskey traffic. With this out of the
way,.perhaps the old calaboose would
answer.—Pittsburg Gazette.
The candidates have begun to sprout
np in bunches in Hunt county and soon
the thoroughfares and Voods will be
( fuU of them. Old Hunt will rank
along with the best of them when it
cornea to producing good material for
public office.—Wolfe City Sun.
Old Hopkins too, has fallen into line
and a goodly number of representa-
tives citizens have expressed their
willingness to serve the dear people
for certain emoluments hereafter to
be determined, for all of which they
will donate their full time and best
service.
if it does not meet the will of the
party leaders. The people have very
little use for a trimmer. The Herald
would view with deep regret the in-
ability of William Taft to make good
in the highest office within the gift of
the people after his brilliant and suc-
cessful record in public life. It is up
to him, however, and the indications
are that he is not going to be there
with the goods.—Denison Herald.
Personally Mr. Taft is held in high
esteem by the American people, who
believe that he wants to hold the
scales of justice equally balanced for
all interests and all sections of the
country alike, but the opinion seems
to be growing that he may be wanting
in ability to assert himself as be-
comes the executive of this great na-
tion, and that h% “won’t be there
with the goods.”—Fort Worth Star-
Telegram.
When the frost is on the windows,
and the kitchen pail is froze; when
the little icy needles come with every
breath that blows; when the chilblains
make us sick and cold feet give ns
pain; it’s safe to bet we all wish for
summer days again. For while we
swear and fume around in summer
clothes; it is an easy thing to cool off,
as everybody knows. But its differ-
ent in the winter, when the world is
full of ice, and the weather is as hard
to beat as a pair of loaded dice. We
may talk about our climate and about
our spring and fall, but the balmy
days of summer are the days that suit
us all.—McGregor Mirror.
Strange, strange indeed, how men’r
opinions change, even our Texas
weather doesn’t have a wider range.
The last time I saw you j on sang a
different song, and what I want to
know is, which time were you wrong?
There was heat u^er your collar,
there was sweat upon your brow, and
you cussed just like a negro in a July
picnic row—swore that Dallas was a
hotter town than-any place below,
hotter than Gehenna, or Hell—ena,
Arkansaw. I remember that you tried
to cool yonrself with a remedy called
beer, but the more you’d drink, the
more you’d sweat and the hotter you’d
appear. The last word I heard you
say (as you were about to go,) was
that you’d like to trade this “hellish
weather” for a big mountain of snow.
Strange we never prize the summer
’till the chills run down our back,
strange we never know the good of
warmth ’till winter puts us on the rack.
But now that you’ve quit cassing
summer and are praying to get warm,
I’ll put you on to a simple trick which
can do you no harm: forsake Bud-
weiser, Schlitz and rye and others of
their ilk, and warm your hide with
nature’s fire, jast good old butterm ilk
—Honey Grove Signal.
When we look at any proposition
from onr own viewpoint, we see only
one side of it. Go around to the other
fellow’s side and aee how it looks
from where he stands, then take him
around to yoar position ancLshow him
how It looks from yoar side. Half the
misunderstandings and mistrustings
and enmities of life would be eliminat-
ed if we would do this. There would
be more harmony, more anion of ef-
fort in every community, more sun-
shine in every home and in every life
if each of ns would try to look at mat-
ters from the other’s point of view as
well as our own.—Farm and Ranch.
The trouble I always have, is I can’t
get the darned fool to oome and look
at it from my side.—Bonham News.
President Taft is reaching a point
where, if he does not assert himself,
he is going to lose the confidence of
a great majority of the people. They
like to feel that in the executive chair
there is a man who is not afraid to
assert himself for a square deal, even
Attention, Road Overseers.
I desire to call attention of the road
overseers of Pre. No. 1 to the fact
that the time for the meeting of the
grand jury is near at band, and when
they call for my report on the con-
dition of the roads, it will be my duty
to report them in their true condition.
Any overseer who has failed to do
his duty, should do his best to cor-
rect his error of short-comings as
nearly las possible, at once.
Respectfully,
R. E. Attlesey,
Commissioner Precinot No. 1.

Surveyors Entertained.
Editor Gazette:
Perhaps nothing could be of more
interest to your readers than the pro-
gress of the Memphis, Paris & Golf
railroad surveyors from Snlphor
Springs via Miller Grove and Lone
Oak to Terrell. ^
As Dr. Pickett, Charlie Hamrick
and tnyself were appointed a com-
mittee to look after the interest of
this road southwest from Sulphur
Springs to Miller Grove, I joined the
surveyors last Friday when they re-
sumed the survey and, with the Chief
Engineer G. H. Cravens, established
a camp at Ward’s crossing, near Jim
Hodge’s and Hay Mooney’s. We re-
turned Saturday morning to Tom
Enix’s place and passed over the line
on foot to Tom Proctor’s place, abont
two miles from Miller Grove, where
night closed their work Saturday.
From Sulphur Springs, their line
runs about fifty degrees west of south
and crosses my road in front of Mrs.
Gafford’s home, thence across the old
John Cathron,x now Judge Russell
farm, and crosses the Sherley road
between Marion and Tom Enix, cross-
es Chafin creek about half a mile
above the crossing at the old Chafin
spring, crosses the Oumby and Winns-
boro road southeast of Shade Ishma-
el’s and then goes between the resi-
dence and barn of Ana Hughes^ goes
into the creek near Henry Patton’s'
and crosses Big creek through Hodge’s
field and south of Tom Proctor^
Sunday, we accepted an invitation
to dine with Sherley’s good people, at
Charley Hamricks. There we enjoy*
ed a feast of Sherley grown products,
which could not be surpassed by any
community in Texas. The table con-
tained more than twenty varieties of
food, all grown and prepared in Sher-
ley except the floor, rice, sugar Rpd
coffee, and these were bought and paid
for with Dooly pptatoes raised on
Qharley Hamrick’s farm, without a
single dollar of cash being used.
The guests who partook of this
magnificent dinner were: Chief En-
gineer G. H. Cravens, his assistant,
H. O. HcOlure, P. O; Daggett, J. B.
Wilson and J. 0. Hale of the engi-
neering corps and Dr. Pickett and
myself of the committee. ,
The table was attended by Mr,
Hamrick and his estimable lady who
certainly know „how to prepare, ar-
range and serve a dinner salted to
any epicarian. \
All of Sherley join# the committee ;
in congratulating the .officers of this
road in their good fortune in select-
ing surveyors who make such favor-
able impressions as. being men of
high merit.
While this survey misses me and
Sherley* abont three-fourths of a ails
we yet hope, and believe by our place
and aorosa the lignite Coal beds is the
best and cheapest ronte for the road
on final survey. I shall still trader )
them free right of way and free use
of water from my lake with all land
they need for railroad purposes.
Respectfully,
B. M. Camp.
